The report emphasises that, from a development\nperspective, <b>this new instrument should have no objective\nbesides that of poverty reduction and the fight against\ninequality</b>. It warns that exclusive attention to economic\ngrowth and excessive confidence in the effects of automatic\nredistribution of development in the private sector could <b>lead\nto unbalanced, non-inclusive growth without having a real impact on\npoverty reduction</b>. Members want the EU to reconsider this\npolicy in favour of sustainable development policies including fair\ntrade, redistribution of wealth and social justice.</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Members further note that the Commission makes poverty\na central issue in its new policy of ‘differentiation’.\nThey observe, however, that 70% of people whose income is below the\npoverty threshold live in <b>middle-income countries</b>, many of\nwhom remain fragile and vulnerable, notably the Small Island\nDeveloping States (SIDS). They call on the Commission to set, for\nthe implementation of the differentiation concept, vulnerability\ncriteria in the common programming guidelines of the new DCI and\nthe 11th EDF currently under discussion, and to take account of the\nrealities of poverty, human development and inequalities inside a\ncountry, and not only of national GNI.</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The report goes on to state that it is <b>essential\nfor middle-income countries to commit an increasing proportion of\ntheir revenue to social purposes</b>, particularly through\ndeveloping taxation systems and other internal redistribution and\nsocial protection systems, thereby enabling the EU to\ngradually scale back its current development programmes so\nas to benefit the poorest countries while maintaining a close\npartnership with middle-income countries, in particular in areas of\nsocial policy.
